Product Delivery Policy

Your order will shipped 1-3 days of receiving cleared payment. This means that Credit/Debit cards orders are shipped out faster because payment is received immediately. Credit card orders that are being delivered to an address other than the credit card billing address will be held for 3 days to ensure that the order is not fraudulent (this is for your protection). Orders are shipped in regular packages containing the courier labels. All orders are shipped domestically from their corresponding shipping warehouses in the U.S.A. No indication of the contents or the value of the contents are shown on the package. We do this to discourage any theft of your items before it reaches you.

Mail orders containing cash will be shipped same the day of receipt. Those containing Money Orders will be shipped 1-7 days of receipt (pending clearance of the money order).

Chargeback Policy

The charge that will appear on your credit card statement will be “RESEARCH SCIENCE” If you place a chargeback with your credit card company (on purpose or by mistake) for any order that you placed and received, there will be a $150.00 research fee charged to your account upon receiving the chargeback by our merchant provider to cover our investigative expenses to prove that you did make the purchase.

Bud Research does not tolerate credit card fraud, and all fraud, without exception, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In addition, we will pursue civil legal action seeking any loss of income related to the fraud, including business, legal fees, research costs, employee down time and loss of revenues.

Bud Research considers credit card charge backs to be fraud if you have made no reasonable effort to work with us to resolve any problems with your purchase. All frivolous chargebacks not only cost our employees time away from our usual and customary matters of conducting normal business, but cost us money, therefore:
You agree that if you, the buyer, choose to do business with Bud Research and you file a charge back with your credit card company, and you do not win the charge back argument, you agree to pay us $150.00 for our time responding to the matter. You, the buyer authorize us to charge this amount to your credit card. If this charge is rejected, Bud Research will pursue legal action to recoup losses for our time associated with responding to the charge back in addition to any other fees explained above. You agree to reimburse us or any representative we may appoint for any legal expenses your actions may make us incur. We take fraud seriously. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The waiver of a breach hereunder does not waive any other or subsequent breach.

In the event that you win the charge back with your credit card company, and have not returned our goods, Bud Research will attempt to recover fraudulently disputed charges plus additional costs via a third-party collection agency and your account will be reported to all credit bureaus as a delinquent collection account. This may severely damage your credit rating for at least the next seven (7) years. At this point, we will no longer accept a return of the merchandise as settlement for the debt and will only accept payment in full.

IMPORTANT:The customer must attempt to return any and all merchandise to Bud Research before attempting a chargeback. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Stolen Credit Card Purchases

Any orders coming back as a chargeback due to fraudulent activities will be diligently pursued through your local jurisdiction for prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

Product Return Policy

If you need to return a Defective or Non-Defective Product please follow the procedures below to assure fast and speedy handling.

Depending on the circumstance, there is a 20% restocking fee on Non-Defective (Fully Functional, Non-Contaminated) products. This determination will be made by BudResearch.com. When returning viable, Non-Defective merchandise, please include a brief letter as to why you are returning the product within the package as well.

Once we receive your returned package you will be issued a replacement or exchange that same business day. Also depending on the circumstance you may receive reimbursement on your shipping cost. Products are carefully examined to determine if the product has been neglected or if it simply a defective product. If we feel that the product has been damaged in any way due to neglect, a refund and shipping cost will not be remunerated.

If you have received a defective product we will replace the product free of charge and also reimburse your shipping cost. Again, your new product will be shipped the same business day we receive your defective product (or proof that the product is defective).

IMPORTANT: It is extremely critical that we receive information regarding our defective products for research purposes and quality control reasons. We keep track of defective products and if we receive too many complaints or returns on a certain product, we will need to make the necessary product changes to ensure the particular product's future viability. If you have any questions regarding our return policy or if your situation does not apply to any of the criteria above, please contact our customer support center. We will be happy to assist you in any way.
